To celebrate Edith Kanaka‘ole's U.S. Mint quarter, local artists Kamea Hadar and Kuha‘o Zane, Kanakaole's grandson, are creating a mural of the late Hawaiian icon at the University of Hawaii at Hilo campus. With the support of the UH-Hilo Kipuka Native Hawaiian Student Services, the mural will be officially unveiled at UH-Hilo on Saturday during the celebration of the release of the commemorative quarter. The free event will honor Kanaka‘ole, who was a kumu hula and patron of Hawaiian arts and culture.
